There's already a lot of replies to your question but I would like to put across my way of seeing it, this is what I believe is true.
You have a self-image of yourself, which is (unless you are changing it, through affirmations, meditation etc...) exactly what you are now.
This self-image is key to what you are experiencing now, it is in the sub-conscious mind, you are consciously attempting to change this self-image. However when you make a affirmation such as "I am self-confident" or " I will manifest $1M" these statements go AGAINST how you see yourself now, your self-image.
Therefore, to stay consistent with yourself image you are hearing these negative little voices telling you that you won't achieve what you wish, because RIGHT NOW your self-image is not of a self-confident millionaire.
My advice is get emotional about it, get real deep. Sit down quietly, while meditating preferably, and think to yourself, 'hold up a minute, why on EARTH can't I be a self-confident person?!?!'. Get literally angry with yourself for believing the absurd truth of being unable to be what you want. Say to yourself 'I am being literally CHEATED out of what I want by my totally fictional beliefs'.
That should make a good start to eliminating the negative once you fully realize and believe it is complete rubbish. However your self-image is a belief, much like a habit, it can be changed by almost cold-blooded repetition, as you are doing now. Just stick with it habits take time to change, I think, in perfect conditions, it takes about 21-30 days, based on research from people who have lost limbs, they still act habitually, for example trying to reach for something with an arm they no longer have for about 21 days before breaking the habit, because their self image is still of themselves with the arm.
Thats my views anyway.
P.S. -- Oh yeah don't think it will take you 21 days, thats in perfect conditions, you first need to create the perfect conditions, I.E. Eliminate these negative voices for a start.
